All eyes smiling as Becky Lynch first to win WWE SmackDown title

The Irish Lass Kicker Becky Lynch lived a dream by becoming the first WWE SmackDown women’s world champion on Sunday, Sept. 11 during WWE Backlash, a SmackDown brand pay-per-view also on WWE Network from the Richmond Coliseum in Richmond, Va.

Lynch, a native of Dublin, Ireland, won a six-pack challenge to reach that goal at what could now be renamed WWE BackLass.

In honor of Ms. Lynch winning the inaugural WWE SmackDown women’s title, I reflect on a time when the fiery red-head joined WWE in NXT and graciously gave her time for an interview where I learned she loved lettuce -- a plain, crisp head of lettuce.

Congrats champ. Next time you’re in South Florida, the Publix iceberg is on me.

Lynch will be making her WWE video game debut in WWE 2K17, set for release Oct. 11.
